This thread reminded me of a couple of quotations...

"I don't know what the [programming] language of the year 2000
will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran."
 	Tony Hoare (or maybe Alan Perlis - statement has been
 	attributed to several eminent computer scientists)

"ALGOL68 - that's Overextended Algol..."
 	Tony Hoare, quoted in Silicon Gulch Gazette, vol. 5 no. 2
